My Mountain Man's Vow

Rock Creek #2

by Lena Rae

Madi

I’m done with textbooks and lectures — I want to make a real difference. That’s why I’m here in Rock Creek, ready to get close to the timber wolves and do my part to help protect their dwindling numbers.

I’m perfectly capable of looking after myself, but the gruff — and undeniably sexy — mountain man insists on tagging along for my safety. He’s a man of few words, which is fine since I’ve got enough for both of us… until I accidentally suggest we share my tent.

I nearly die when he declines, saying he wouldn’t get any rest. Left alone with my thoughts, I’m just about to relieve some tension when I hear the tent zipper.

“Looks like neither of us is getting much rest tonight.”

I came to learn from the wolves, but it seems my mountain man has some lessons of his own to share.

Maverick

Taking a sweet, innocent city girl into the mountains to study wolves isn’t on my agenda. Neither is falling for her.

Yet, I can’t seem to take my eyes off her, and despite my gruff nature, I’m charmed by her nonstop chatter.

Resisting her is harder than expected, especially when I hear her moan my name in her sleep. One night is all we can ever have. After all, what could a bubbly young thing want with a grumpy mountain man like me?

But when she sneaks away the next morning, putting herself in danger, I realize I’d do anything to keep her safe — and by my side — forever.

Authors My Mountain Man’s Vow is a short, very steamy instalove romance with an over-the-top protective hero. No cheating, no cliffhangers and a very happily ever after, guaranteed.

Quickie Review: Another fabulous quick read by this new to me author that I am absolutely loving right now. Once again, I immediately had to download the next book in the series before I even finished this one. These insta love romances are so very addictive and Maverick and Madi were so perfect. I was so happy with how their story played out and ended. Another 5 star read!

Love that Madi stood up for herself and Mav was completely lost! These two, while having an instant attraction, don’t hit it off right away. Luckily, his pup helps bridge the gap, and then it is full steam ahead <3

⛺️ARC Review⛺️

My Mountain Man's Vow by Lena Rae is
Book 2 of the Rock Creek Series (My Mountain Man's Desire is Book 1) following the Wolf Brothers. It is a grumpy/sunshine, insta-love, shört 'n spïcƴ, opposite-attracts romance between Maverick & Madi. Maverick is the reclusive mountain man brother that comes into town to work a shift at the Den for his mother's birthday. Madi is new to town & she is studying timber wolves. Maverick sees her at the Den and their meet-cute gets off to a rocky start. Madi doesn't quite know what to make of Maverick, he runs hot & cold with her. Maverick agrees to be her forest guide to look for the timber wolves. After they make camp, Madi is in her own tent. She is fantasizing about Maverick - when she gets a *bit* loud and Maverick hears her & comes in... 😏

Equal parts steamy & sweet, Maverick & Madi compliment each other. HEA and Epilogues of their future. Definitely enjoyed their story & look forward to reading about the other Wolf Brothers.

Talk about hot! I loved this ebook. Maverick 's a grumpy hermit who only comes down to help his family. Madison aka Madi has come to Rock Creek to study wolves. Maverick is working when he hears the voice of an angel. He sees Madi and becomes automatically protective, but still in a grumpy way. Could it be love at first sight? Oh he's definitely smitten at first glance as he looks at his doll. The chemistry between them is so hot and intense. Could they be made for each other? Can Madi go against Maverick and do what she wants to do despite the tinglass he makes her feel? Does Maverick realize that his grumpy ways are hurting Madi and can he get her to acknowledge what they could have together forever? In this 5⭐️ winner, this truly amazing and talented author will bring the excitement, drama, explosive passion, and nature's danger right to you. So if these things get your attention, then I absolutely encourage you to get this hot ebook. You will be very glad you did.

I really love these mountain men stories. And Madison & Maverick are so good together.

Maverick is lacking communication skills, he’s a grumpy, growling man but his feelings change when he’s around Madi. It took him a while, including quite a scary moment, before he acted a bit more civilized.

This book contains insta-love, “you’re mine”, breeding and lots of love. There’s also Mav’s adorable and very brave pup Luna!
And of course the last chapter is situated ten years later. Love that!

Maverick: “I promise to spend the rest of my life making you happy, doll. Whatever it takes. I’ll do everything in my power to keep that smile on your face.” I trace her pretty pink lips with my finger. “Always.”.

Madi and Maverick, they meet when he is, very reluctantly, working at the local dining venue. He is a serious grump but when he hears her voice he becomes protective and a tad bossy.
Maxi is researching wolf population etc in the area and Maverick takes her camping in the area to assist her with her research. Passion and giggles follow. Their story is sweet at times, heated at other times and overall a good read.

I loved this one. Grumpy mountain man falls in love with sweet woman. I love a good grumpy/sunshine story especially when written well. This one checked all the boxes for me. And Luna....gosh I love a good protector doggie moment.
This book is a quick read and is packed sweet and spicy. MFC seems to lack some self esteem but not in a over the top way and MMC is a loner in need of love. Super cute!
Will look for this author again!.

ARC REVIEW

This was my first time reading a book by this author. It was a good book. I loved that it has a dual POV. I loved the characters and Mav's pet, Luna (she's part-wolf). I loved how Mav was so possessive of Madi. Also, the ending of this book was good, I loved it. All in all, I enjoyed reading this book 😊

My Mountain Man’s Vow is a sultry and stirring instalove! Maverick hits all my jams—big, burly, alpha, protective, kind to his mother, and so sweet deep down underneath it all. Madison is spunky and brave, curious and determined, and yet so naive at the same time. I love how these two meet and their journey is so much fun. Luna is the absolute best, I just adore her! With action, drama, intensity, and so much sexiness, this novella is a great escape!

Howling great story about another Wolf Mountain Man finding his soulmate. This is a standalone with no cliffhanger, but fits into the Rock Creek series nicely.
This is a FABULOUS, steamy, grumpy Mountain Man story with WONDERFUL characters.
I am SO GLAD that there are more Wolf brothers because I can’t wait for each of them to fall in love, just like their parents, LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.

It’s so hard to find an author that exclusively writes novellas and writes them well, but Lena Rae is one of them. I liked this one even more than the first, and I’m really excited to see which brother is next!

Thank you Lena for the ARC.

[Debi Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great Read

This was a great read. Maverick fell for Madi the second he saw her at the diner. Being older than her he doesn’t realize she is a virgin. A sweet read that will make you feel like love is in the air

Great story

This is a really nice short story. It's an instant love story about a couple with two different backgrounds. It also has a little danger. I look forward to reading more of Ms Rae's books.

[Elaine Swinney · Rating 3 out of 5]

My rating for this story is a 3.5. This is a well written short story with great characters. I would like to have seen more of their story. I would encourage everyone to give this one a chance. This is a good one for that lazy afternoon or that short reading time you have.

[Bryony · Rating 4 out of 5]

Maverick and Madison seem made for each other! Whilst at different points in their lives they manage to find their happy ending together and merge their lives for the better. This was a very spicy read and I enjoyed their story!

[T.I. · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is such a great read. I couldn't put it down. I was hooked right from the start, and wait 'til you find out how it all ends. Totally worth the read. Enjoy.

[Danii · Rating 4 out of 5]

Just the right amount of OTT obsessive growly mountain man instalove paired with a bubbly FMC. Great.

Short, cute, fun series

Short, cute, fun series. It's far-fetched but still an enjoyable read. It is fun having the instalove hit these mountain men first.

Love at first sight

He falls so fast for Madi, it scares him. He’s not a talker he’s gruff, he will do anything to win her. Lucky for him, she fell fast for him too!

Did I enjoy this? Yes. Did I find some things that were red flags in this series? Also yes. I think it is the insta love for me. I’m not a total fan of that but it was still enjoyable!
